"I was fired for complaining about an assault by a coworker. Russell Cole and Paul DePasquale sued my employer and got me a very good settlement. They were knowledgeable and cared about my case. I would recommend them to anyone who has a problem at work."

"Russell Cole and DePasquale & Cole helped me to again be able to parent my daughter after the court had given her mother full custody with no visitation for me. My case was handled with care and compassion, and a high level of skill. I am very grateful for what they did for me, and cannot thank them enough."

"DePasquale & Cole have handled several matters for me. They represented me in the Superior Court to challenge the termination of my employment by the City of Los Angeles, and then represented me in the California Court of Appeals. They also went to court to resolve complicated retirement issues which were left over from a difficult divorce."

"I suspected that I was not being paid commissions owed to me. I called Russ Cole, and DePasquale & Cole handled the case from initial advice through a settlement with my former employer which eventually involved three additional co-workers. Russ and Paul kept me informed, and I was glad to know that they were obviously ready, willing and able to go to trial."

DePasquale and Cole got me through two trials in a complex case without a conviction after the DA tried the case a second time after a hung jury. My lawyers knew how to exploit the weaknesses of the prosecution and the police. After that, Paul DePasquale helped me get a judgment at trial in a business case after a former friend ripped me off.
